I feel like the challenger2 in game look so tall in my eyes and after i’ve look at a lot of pictures the size of the wheels isn’t match

Looks accurate. Wheels are fine.
IRL the hydraulic cylinders could be poorly maintained, or higher weight is on the tank, or it’s right before the cylinder maintenance, etc for general height of the tank itself; otherwise the wheels themselves are accurate.

Yeah thousands of things could make it sit lower irl. You always have the perfect tank in wt which can make it look different.
The Challenger 2 has hydrogas suspension, afaik when the tank sits still for a while the gas cools and contracts, this makes the tank sit lower than usual. When the tank starts driving, the gas heats up and the tank will gradually raise to its normal height.
This can be seen on the Challenger 3, which uses hydrogas suspension (upgraded from the Challenger 2).
The Challenger 3s that are driving sit slightly higher than the stationary one.
